PaperFriendTurn a child's drawing into a 3D paper doll
How PaperFriend turns one photo of a drawing on paper into a 3D paper doll on your phone, and stands it in your room with AR.
One photo is the whole setup
Lay the drawing on a table and photograph the whole sheet, roughly straight on. PaperFriend finds the paper, flattens it and picks out the drawing. If there are several drawings on the sheet, the largest one is used.
Traced and given thickness, not redrawn
The app traces the outline of the drawing and extrudes it into a shape with real thickness, so it stands like a paper doll. The drawing itself becomes the texture, so your child's lines and colours stay exactly as they were. No AI generates a new picture.
Stand it in your room with AR
Place the doll on the floor or a table at real size, then move, turn and resize it. Tap the shutter for a photo or record a short video; no sound is recorded. AR uses ARCore, which not every Android device supports, but making, keeping and viewing paper dolls works on any device.
Private by design
Photos of drawings are never uploaded. Everything runs on your phone, the dolls are stored only inside the app, and PaperFriend works offline with no account, ads, tracking or analytics.
